Today I placed our order for two boxes of Bees and two queens. It’s literally a wooden box, with mesh screen sides, and each holds somewhere around 20,000 bees. They are sold by the pound, I ordered 4 pound boxes. I decided on Italian Honey Bees, they seem to be among the easier breeds for newbs like me.
